<br />1. Whether the proposed development plan is in the best interests of the public health, <br />safety, and general welfare: <br /> <br />The proposed project as designed and conditioned meets all applicable City standards <br />concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazards <br />(new development not within a special studies zone), and flood hazards. Full public <br />streets and water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines are present to serve the proposed <br />lots on this site. Stormwater runoff will be pretreated in on-site bio-retention swales <br />and ponds before discharge to the City's storm lines. Sensitive riparian habitat areas <br />will be preserved in conformance to Federal and California State standards. <br /> <br />Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />2. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed <br />properties located in the vicinity of the plan: <br /> <br />. The proposed development plan incorporates numerous provisions - limitations on <br />building heights, setbacks, maximum floor area, etc., - to integrate the design of the <br />planned buildings on these lots with the nearby single-family homes and surrounding <br />area. <br /> <br />. The proposed public streets are located in a manner which is consistent with City <br />standards, and which provides adequate development access and emergency vehicle <br />access. <br /> <br />. All house construction activities are limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., <br />Monday through Friday. All construction equipment must meet Department of Motor <br />Vehicles (DMV) noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. <br /> <br />Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the natural, topogra- <br />phic features of the site: <br /> <br />. The proposed development plan is designed to reflect the site's existing topographic <br />condition, to minimize impacts on adjoining properties, to be consistent with the re- <br />quirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepared for the <br />proposed project, and to minimize grading. <br /> <br />. The location and configuration of the proposed lots and public streets generally follow <br />natural contours. <br /> <br />. All private lots will be designed to drain to bio-retention areas designed to pretreat <br />stormwater runoff before entering the City's storm drain system. <br /> <br />Item 6.c" PUD-58 and PGPA-ll <br /> <br />Page 31 of 34 <br /> <br />August 23, 2006 <br />
